The event will be held at the Heard Museum’s Steele Auditorium.  Weavers may sell their work without any booth or participation fees, with 20% of the purchase price going to the museum to defray the cost of the event.  Sales will be rung through the Museum Shop, and each weaver making a sale will receive a check after 3 PM on the day of the sale.

Weavers are encouraged to register for the marketplace in advance by calling Bruce McGee or Lynn Bullock at 800-252-8344.

The Gathering of Weavers will also feature demonstrations and discussions on Navajo textile collecting and promises to be a wonderful day for both weavers and collectors.  We’ve already got the date marked on our calendar!  See you there.
